The Master of Letters in Fine Art Practice Programme at The Glasgow School of Art consists of six specialist pathways (Print Media, Sculpture, Painting, Performance, Drawing and Photography and the Moving Image). The programme is studio-based and centred on practice and is intended to provide opportunities for students to pursue in-depth subject-specific study in fine art practice at postgraduate level. Undertaken over 12 months, the Programme encourages an intensive exploration of research and development of ideas from the outset, with the focus on the highest standards of practice and personal development as artists.
The students on the Programme work within the specialisms and across them, often identifying collaborative opportunities to engage with practice across the pathways and across programmes. The Programme has a diverse mix of both national and international students, attracting applicants from all over the world. This dynamic encourages the students to build a dialogue with their peers and identify meaningful connections, many of which lead to further collaborations beyond graduation from the School.
